Every minor league season promises surprises. Last year for the Giants, that surprise was losing all across the board. So much losing. So little talent. But another year of development for lots of these young players and new arrivals from international signings and the draft might just be the infusion of life and winning the organization’s been looking for — and, frankly, needs if it’s going to be relevant in its own industry over the long haul.
Check out Roger and Kevin’s fantastic and thorough minor league preview story stream and then make time on this Giants’ off day to get to know one or maybe even all of the minor league affiliates. Impress your friends and acquaintances with your knowledge of the farm.
We're just a few short hours away from the start of the 2018 minor league season! Opening Night starters for the affiliates:

UPDATE:
